Conformity is a common coping strategy for dealing with stresses in
political situations, as well a strategy for dealing with the lack
of agreed foundations. This work introduces the conceptual
frameworks of coping and conformity to provide a new analysis of
the ethical and political demands of international life. The volume
argues that coping through conformity is the only means available
for dealing with uncertainty and the absence of shared foundations,
and while conformity may be a largely practical issue it also
reflects a consensus on values. Dyer draws on recent critical
theoretical perspectives as well as engaging with dominant
'liberal' assumptions in the global context providing a critical
study of the impact of norms and values in world politics. The book
also addresses wider issues of freedom and necessity, individualism
and communitarianism and cosmopolitanism, agency and structure, and
the legitimacy of governance and institutions. The theoretical
arguments are illuminated within the ecological context and such
recent concerns as climate and energy security are examined as
forceful illustrations of current political challenges as well as a
potential source of insights into the alternatives. Providing a
fresh theoretical perspective on world politics, this work will be
of great interest to all scholars of global politics, international
relations and globalization studies.
